"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Austin Hatch has been conditionally released by his medical team to begin practicing with the Canterbury High School basketball program. The first official practice is today, however, Austin is limited to the types of drills he can participate in at this time. Although everyone is encouraged by the progress he continues to make, Austin and his family ask that you do not approach him for interviews at this time.

This kid is a warrior. I really hope he gets a chance to play Michigan basketball, even if he's one of the guys who rarely gets playing time. I'll cry like a bitch if he goes onto the court in uniform to a standing ovation.

Warrior? This kid is a WOLVERINE! For all that he has been through and the resillience he's shown, he's a Wolverine for life whether he ever plays a game here! You always have a family here Austin wherever you go, whatever you do! Go Blue!

If Austin Hatch never plays another minute of competitive basketball, he has still beaten some of the most horrendous odds imaginable. I never thought he would even make it to the point where playing was an option. I hope he makes it all the way back, too, but if he walks out of the University of Michigan someday as "Dr Hatch," I will be exceedingly happy for him.

Another great chapter in Hatch's recovery is starting now, and hopefully he gets all the time he needs. I believe Beilein said that the team will honor the scholarship whenever he arrives, which is great. This kid will get a standing ovation when he gets to Crisler, and deservedly so- I hope to be there for it, because I know I won't be the only one who is wondering who brought the onions. There is no denying that Hatch is resiliant and a fighter and I wish him the best of luck in his continued recovery.

"Funny isn't it, how naughty dentists always make that one fatal mistake."

Great post. Can I get some clarification please? I know that some rules were bent and he was allowed extra high school eligibility. Does that end this year? He starts at U-M next year? Presumably he would be redshirted to give hime the longest possible time for recovery so we can hope to see this resiliant young man suited up in fall 2014?

Thank you for the clarification. As I indicated I would expect him to redshirt but he is still 2 years away from even having to make that decision. Glad he is able to do the reasonable thing and get back into bball at the right pace. +1 if I could Raoul
